Team India’s hard , dry run in the southern hemisphere
finally came to an end when the men in
blue relished the sweet taste of victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in a
high-voltage clash , which interestingly also began Team India’s title defence
. But the reigning champions hardly had any time to rejoice , with the mighty Proteas
lined up against them next .
As a build up to the Indo-Pak encounter , a TV commercial
boasting of India’s invincibility over the Pakistan squad ruled airs , the story
turns other way round with the Proteas leading 3-0 as far as World Cup face-off’s
are concerned . All in all , a perfect sell out , a all 30 fit squad ( both
sides included ) and a high morale India , makes a perfect recipe for a nail
biting , edge of the seat thriller this Sunday .
Team Report
India : Led by the talismanic and charismatic MS , India
seem to be raring to have a go , having tasted success after so long . The team
had a short time winding down , and returned to business just yesterday . With
all run machines in form and the bowling finally coming good , India are a
force to reckon with . Also historically and Statistically , the venue supports
the Champions .
South Africa : Tagged to be the most jinxed team in world
arena , the Proteas always seem to be more mightier on paper . With a steamy
bowling line-up including the inspiring and scintillating Dale Steyn , Morkel ,
quality spin and a reliable batting order , the Proteas are almost in everyone’s
probable champs list . The venue might also particularly favour the tall ,
lanky fast bowling resource possessed by them , more than the Indians . And not
to forget the incredible De’villiers , Proteas are gonna be India’s toughest
opponents through the Pool stage .
All in all it’s set to be a super Sunday with a full sellout
crowd for the ultimate encounter . Let’s see if the MS’s boys overcome AB’s
daredevils and break the invincibility jinx , currently in possession of the
Proteas !!
